Passionate about sewing and learning to sew clothes that fit and flatter my plus size figure.

Yes, I'm Still Here

It has been a long while since I have posted. The problem is I love many different crafts and haven't figured out a way to do them all on a regular basis. During the months leading up to the holidays I had a major cardmaking mojo going. So far in 2015 I have been knitting and even experimenting with crochet.

I haven't been too excited about garment sewing here lately and did not want to go off topic with cardmaking and knitting projects so I have not posted.

I want to get back to the pants fitting thing but just can't find the creative energy or patience to devote to that task. Plus, I have found a few pairs of RTW pants to carry me over until I can tackle the pants issue.

There has been very little sewing going. However, I have been taking a Craftsy class to make this bag.

I'm using some fabric that has been in my stash for awhile. Had to order a zipper long enough to fit the opening and sturdy enough to hold the bag closed.

The outside and inside front and back panels are complete and ready for zipper insertion. I love this fabric!

Looking forward to finishing this bag to store my Cricut die cutting machine. I'm also hoping that my sewing mojo will return now that warmer weather is in the very near future-- I hope!

About Me

I have loved crafts ever since I was a little girl. I am a knitter and a beginning quilter but mostly I am a home sewist who is passionate about sewing clothes that I love that fit and flatter my currently plus-sized figure, I am on a journey to learn as much as I can about fitting and pattern alteration and hope that my experiences will help someone else along the way. I feel so fortunate to be able to sew some of my own clothes and eventually would like to sew all of my wardrobe. I have a lot yet to learn. As I embark on this journey I will attempt to share some of my experiences-- the good and the not so good. I look forward to inspiring and being inspired.
